The ISP adopted
Priyanka Yadav aged 18 who took to the game barely one year ago but
shows considerable promise because of her athletic background.

Priyanka was a good
tennis player before she switched to squash and started playing at
CCI in April 1998. She was a member of the Maharashtra tennis squad
that won a silver at the National Schools Championship. Before that
Priyanka was good at badminton and won a number of certificates and
medals at schools meets. Her interests extend to martial arts where
she is the recipient of a green belt. Thanks to her athleticism and
ball sense, Priyanka has risen rapidly to be fifth in the Head
Indian Squash ratings for girls under 19.

The 17-year-old, who stands five feet, four inches, has just passed
her higher secondary examination with flying colours. The daughter
of Mr. S.P.S. Yadav, additional commissioner of police (traffic) and
Dr. Usha Yadav who is posted at the G.T. Hospital. Priyanka has also
set her sights on the civil services examination. Like Deepali
Anvekar, the second to be adopted by the ISP, Priyanka was given
free membership and coaching at The Leela (thanks to our Patron
Member, Mr. Vivek Nair).
